>>316464789Neat idea, but every game just uses them in place interesting gameplay. Why waste time programming and designing a challenging combat system when you could just let the players mash buttons and then randomly play execution animations

Fuck FF7, I can't think of a more overrated game in history (not even Undertale)

There were literally DOZENS of better choices when bringing in a character from the final fantasy universe, and they decided to choose the most boring, generic one because plebbit and babbys first final fantasy love him.

>>316463826Cloud is the fucking face of Final Fantasy, what did you expect? I think he's only in because Final Fantasy has played a big role on Nintendo systems like the NES and SNES, and Cloud is pretty much the most well known character from the series, and if anything, the rep.

Blizzard timed the release of it really poorly, and their advertising budget for Starcraft got blown out by Heart of the Swarm. It's actually a really good expansion all considered, but it's getting hella overshadowed by certain other concurrent video game release events.
